After a long bus journey we made our way to bondi beach where Jade lives, i was expecting this place to be amazing after all the hype i heard but was a bit dissapointed as it didnt seem that great and the heavens had opened! We had a look around, attempted to do the bondi to coogee cliff top walk but went the wrong way ending up in the rain in the suburbs! Not a great day! Cheered ourselves up by meeting up with the Irish gang we'd met in Peru for some drinks, this is how we ended up moving to Coogee. We instanly felt happier in Coogee, there is a lot more charactor in my opinion with a friendlier buz about the place so we moved over in a few days. Surfside hostel ... read more

hello again... It has been a while since i have last posted. The main reason for that is because at our place, we are completely out of internet service. When we signed up for internet we signed up for a 200 mb per month plan, the guy at the store said that this would be plenty for us...however when we found out that our account was 4 times the limit in about 2 weeks, we had to cut it out for the rest of this month.

We can change our internet plan for next month, so things will be better. 2 weekends ago was the weekend retreat with the church, ... read more

Greetings again from the great down under. The last week and a bit has been interesting. Getting jobs has been our main focus. After turning down that soliciting job, we were all back at the beginning. We were spending a lot of time and money at the internet cafe down the road so we decided to get our own internet (thanks to neils dad for the laptop). Getting the internet set up was a little expensive, but we crunched the numbers and figured out that if we were to stay with the cafe, altogether we would have been spending 200 a month there, which is more than having internet at our place. I came across a recruitment company named Hays. I met with one of the Hays representatives (he actually came over) he was a really ... read more

This morning we were up very early for a round of golf! Dan, Paul, Steve and Paul's friend John were all playing 9 holes at the local course, while Gloria and I went along for an early morning stroll and to keep score. Unfortunately Dan was playing with standard length clubs which are too short for him. After topping quite a few frustrated shots and not performing as he might well have done- but also realising that everyone was of a similar standard, it wasn't a serious game and we all had a great laugh. The rest of the day was spent chilling out at Paul & Gloria's having lunch together, swimming in the pool, playing with their dogs Doogie and Millie. The evening was spent watching the international game Australia v England in the Twenty ... read more
